run-of-the-mill mushroom card! Un, wob, VG+ $55.00 |

FA260-This card
doesn't involve montage but the photo image is so well done that the swirling fabric
behind the woman is 'frozen' by the action of the camera to simulate large wings.

photo fantasy card with a woman butterfly whose wings become borders for tinted photo
